Shi Yi grabbed Shi Hao's shoulder, and the next moment, they left this place and arrived in the Eight Domains of the Lower Realm.

"Is this...the Celestial Realm?"

Shi Hao figured out where he was; it was the Heavenly Domain, one of the Eight Domains of the Lower Realm.

Heaven, Earth, Dark, Yellow, Universe, Cosmos, Vastness, Desolation—these are the names of the eight regions of the lower realm.

Shuangshi's hometown is in the desolate region.

Originally, Shi Hao's parents also wanted to come, but Shi Hao refused because he considered that his parents' special status might cause conflict with Shi Yi. He said he would wait until he had scouted the route before making any further plans.

Shi Hao no longer regards Shi Yi as an enemy. Back then, the two had said that the grudges and grievances between their families would be borne by the two of them and would no longer affect their families. However, he felt it was better to avoid it.

The alien creature he subdued, the golden lion, was left in the Upper Realm by the Qin family. With Qin Changsheng and the Five Elements Mountain there, the lion certainly wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. He would deal with it after he had scouted the area.

"Let's go straight back to the wasteland," Shi Yi said.

Shi Hao nodded. He was eager to return to Shi Village as soon as possible, so he would do so as quickly as possible.

The light surrounding Shi Yi enveloped Shi Hao. The next moment, the stars shifted and they disappeared from the celestial realm. When they reappeared, they were already standing in front of an ancient kingdom.

"Stone Kingdom!"

Shi Hao naturally recognized this place; he had fought here before and had many experiences here.

However, this is not where Shi Hao belongs; his true home is in Shi Village.

"Crack!"

The void cracked open, revealing the gate to a chaotic mini-world. Three stunningly beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, emerged from it.

The witch came to Shi Yi's side and hugged his arm with both hands.

Huo Ling'er and Yun Xi blushed as they approached Shi Hao, both a little shy and not as bold as the witch.

Seeing this, the witch laughed so hard she nearly fell over.

Shi Hao rolled his eyes. When it comes to being quirky and mischievous, the witch is number one, and no one dares to say that she is number two. This woman is absolutely invincible in this aspect. He had experienced it firsthand before. Many of his entanglements with Qingyi had the witch's shadow in them.

Huo Ling'er and Yun Xi were no match for this witch. It's unknown what they talked about in Shi Yi's chaotic little world, but it made the two girls blush with embarrassment.

"Let's part ways here," Shi Yi whispered.

Shi Hao whispered, then led the two women away, plunging headlong into the vast wilderness.

Shi Yi then led the witch into the capital of the Stone Kingdom.

The capital of the Stone Kingdom is now prosperous, stable, and without much turmoil.

Before Shi Yi left, he left behind a lot of good things for the Wu King's Mansion, enough for them to get through the crisis and stabilize the Shi Kingdom.

They walked down the street, where cars and people came and went. Every living being passing by couldn't help but linger on the two of them, because this perfect couple was too eye-catching. The man was heroic and otherworldly, while the woman was as beautiful as a fairy, like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting. They were clearly not ordinary people, but rather like true immortals descended to earth.

At this moment, some people saw Shi Yi's face, and a handsome and powerful figure suddenly appeared in their minds.

"He...he seems to be the Peerless Emperor!"

"Peerless Emperor? You must be mistaken. Back then, the Peerless Emperor ascended to the Upper Realm with the Sun God Tree. He never returned, and it's been almost ten years. At the time, this matter spread throughout the Eight Regions; everyone knew about it."

"Now, trying to descend from the upper realm to here is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even powerful forces like the Immortal Mountain and the Heaven-Mending Sect can't do it." Some people shook their heads, not quite believing it.

However, upon closer inspection of the imposing man's face, he resembled the Peerless Emperor, only more mature and weathered.

"This...how can it be so similar? Could it really be the return of the Peerless Emperor?"

The news spread like wildfire, causing a huge uproar in the capital of the Stone Kingdom.

Of course, before that, Shi Yi had already brought the witch to the Peerless Palace.

This place was once called the Wuwang Mansion. Later, because the Stone Emperor conferred the title of Wushuang Emperor on Shi Yi, it was renamed Wushuang Palace.

Unlike the course of that timeline, the Martial King's Mansion in this life did not decline. After being renamed the Peerless Palace, it rose to prominence and flourished.

The two young disciples of the Peerless Hall exchanged a glance upon seeing the man and woman standing before the hall's entrance. They sensed that the two were no ordinary people and likely had extraordinary origins. Not daring to offend them, they stepped forward to inquire about their background and purpose.

Shi Yi glanced at them with a half-smile. The two young disciples were about fifteen or sixteen years old. When he left the lower realm, he was just a child. He never expected that when he returned, they would not recognize him.

This reminded him of a poem from his past life: "Children meet but do not recognize each other, laughing and asking, 'Where do you come from, guest?'"

Don't you recognize me?

Upon hearing this, the two disciples of the Peerless Hall looked up and carefully examined Shi Yi. They had only glanced at him briefly before and hadn't looked too closely, but now it did seem somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, the two were struck dumb, recognizing Shi Yi's identity.

"The Peerless Emperor?"

"Didn't you go to the upper realm?"

Shi Yi smiled but didn't say anything.

The two young disciples were so excited that their faces turned red. They quickly opened the hall doors to welcome Shi Yi and the witch inside.

"Huh? Why is the main gate of my Peerless Palace wide open? Could it be that an emperor from another country has come to pay a visit?" An old man happened to see this scene and asked in confusion.

When he saw Shi Yi and the witch walking out of the gate, he froze on the spot, as if petrified. He recalled the gifted young man with double pupils. Back then, he had watched Shi Yi grow up and witnessed him rise step by step to become a powerful figure in the eight regions.

"Yi'er?"

The old man's eyes were blurry. Shi Yi had brought too much glory to this clan. All the clan members were proud of him and regarded him as the pride of the Shi clan. In particular, these elders hoped that they could see Shi Yi one last time before they passed away.

Now, his wish has come true. However, he is a little confused about whether the scene before him is real or a dream. After all, he has had this kind of dream several times before, and each time it has been a false alarm.

"Seventh Grandfather, how have you been? How have you been while I was away?" Shi Yi greeted him with a smile.

The old man rubbed his eyes to make sure that what he was seeing was real.

"Yi'er, is it really you! You've returned from the Upper Realm?"

"Yes, I just returned from an ancient road." Shi Yi nodded.

"Great, great! And who is this...?"

Because no one in the lower realm has ever seen the witch's true form, no one knows her.

"This is your great-granddaughter-in-law." Shi Yi respected the old man very much because when he was young, it was a group of old men who cleansed his marrow and built his foundation.

"Great-granddaughter-in-law..."

The old man's joy was evident. In the family, the most important thing is to carry on the family line. If Shi Yi has a successor, it will be a great joy for Wushuang Hall.

"Seventh Master".

The witch called out obediently.

The old man grinned from ear to ear, wanting to give the witch a gift. Although it was of little use to the witch, it was the old man's most precious possession. Overjoyed, he didn't consider anything else and gave it to her directly.

"Seventh Grandfather, how are my father, great-grandfather...?" Shi Yi asked softly.

This place holds so many memories, all from my childhood.

"Everything is fine. Over the years, we old folks have started to pay attention to our health. We've all been waiting to see you, afraid of dying too soon and not being able to see Yi'er one last time. Haha, now, this old man's wish has come true." Seventh Grandfather was in tears.

"Don't worry, with me here, none of you will die," Shi Yi said.

He has feelings for these elderly people and naturally won't let them be eroded by time or taken away by the years.

Seventh Master did not understand the meaning behind his words, but simply told him to go and see his closest relatives.

Shi Yi nodded and led the witch straight to the courtyard where his father lived.

From afar, he saw a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on a boulder, his eyes slightly closed, as if meditating and regulating his breathing.

His features bear a striking resemblance to Shi Yi's, and he is none other than Shi Yi's father, Shi Ziteng.

Shi Ziteng, who was meditating, sensed someone approaching and assumed it was his grandfather, Shi Yuan, since only he would walk in so directly.

Shi Ziteng opened his eyes, about to speak, but the scene before him made him unable to utter the words that had just reached his lips.

The father and son looked at each other, their eyes filled with a deep, unspoken bond of kinship.

"Yier!"

"Father, I'm back, and I've brought you a daughter-in-law with me," Shi Yi said with a slight smile.

"Greetings, Father." The witch blushed slightly and followed Shi Yi in calling him father.

"it is good."

Shi Ziteng was stunned and at a loss for what to do for a while before he recovered.

"You little rascal, you've finally grown up and know how to settle down," he said with a laugh and a scolding tone, his eyes already red.

"Now that you're together, you should treat her well and never let her down," Shi Ziteng said.

Then, he took out his best possessions and gave them to the witch as a greeting gift.

Chapter 428 Suppressing Darkness

Shi Yi's great-grandfather, Shi Yuan, also rushed over upon hearing the news and met with Shi Yi and the witch, and the family was finally reunited.

Soon after, the older generation arrived. They had personally given Shi Yi a medicinal bath and watched him rise step by step to become the peerless emperor who dominated the eight regions.

The entire Wushuang Hall was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers to welcome Shi Yi and the witch.

Upon learning the identity of the Holy Maiden of the Intercepting Heaven Sect, the entire hall was overjoyed. It should be noted that the Intercepting Heaven Sect was a major sect in the upper realm, mysterious and powerful.

In the eyes of the people of Wushuang Palace, it was a great honor for Wushuang Palace that Shi Yi was able to marry the holy maiden of this sect, which showed that he was doing well in the upper realm.

"You two aren't married yet?"

Shi Yuan and Shi Ziteng stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Shi Yi understood what his two elders meant, but they didn't know that he was no longer trying to climb the social ladder.

"Father, Great-Grandfather, I swept through the Upper Realm. Except for those few forbidden zones of life, I was invincible throughout the Upper Realm. I even killed immortal beings and true immortals. You don't need to worry too much about many things." He smiled slightly and told the truth.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan and Shi Ziteng were dumbfounded, their faces flushed red, and they even stopped breathing.

They thought they had misheard and hurriedly asked Shi Yi repeatedly to confirm, until the witch told them about Shi Yi's amazing achievements in a crisp voice, and they finally woke up from their dream.

"Snapped!"

Shi Yuan slapped himself hard; it hurt. He was sure he wasn't dreaming.

"This is too fast! Yi'er, you left home for the Upper Realm only ten years ago. In just ten short years, you have grown to this level." Shi Ziteng was stunned.

It's normal for one's son to be a double-pupiled being, a born saint, with unparalleled talent and rapid progress. However, it's unimaginable that he could fight his way up from the Venerable Realm to the peak of the Extreme Path in just ten years and even slay immortals. Has there ever been such a being in the long history of the world?

“I had another opportunity; in fact, it has been hundreds of thousands of years,” Shi Yi replied.

Only then did the two realize what Shi Yi had been through.

"I see. I knew it. In just ten years, your eyes couldn't have become so weathered."

“In a strange era, in a strange world, after hundreds of thousands of years, you must have been very lonely.” Shi Ziteng felt sorry for his son.

"It's alright, I have my younger brother to keep me company, so I'm not too lonely." Shi Yi shook his head with a smile.

"younger brother……"

Shi Yuan and Shi Ziteng naturally knew who the younger brother Shi Yi was talking about was.

"Um, is he... alright?" Shi Yuan asked.

"Yes, he came down to the mortal realm with me this time, so he's probably already in the Stone Clan's first ancestral land, which is his home." Shi Yi nodded.

"Alas, our Shi clan's ancestral precept was that we must not kill each other; we have failed him," Shi Yuan sighed.

“It’s all in the past. All the cause and effect were borne by him and me. We have both let go of the past. Great-Grandpa, you don’t need to think too much about it,” Shi Yi said softly.

After saying that, he looked at Shi Ziteng.

"Father, there's no need to dwell on what shouldn't have happened."

"One day, when I reach the pinnacle of power, even the dead can be brought back to life," Shi Yi said meaningfully.

"Yi'er, this... how is this possible? How can the dead come back to life?" Everyone present was shocked.

“Of course it’s possible. You think it’s impossible because you don’t understand the Supreme Realm enough. In short, don’t doubt it. I will eventually reach that point.” Shi Yi said solemnly.

Shi Yuan, Shi Ziteng, and the witch standing to the side were all incredibly shocked. They all chose to believe him because Shi Yi could not possibly deceive them.

“Okay, I’ll wait for that day.” Shi Ziteng looked at his son with shining eyes.

When one's power reaches the level Shi Yi described, what do past grudges and grievances matter?
